4.5.5.3 Paint Mode (paint)
The paint mode (paint) feature instructs the printer to reserve memory
space for one or two full bitmap pages, or not to allocate any bitmapped
memory space for page printing. Since printer memory is shared with both
fonts and page drawings, it is usually desirable to let the printer allocate
the memory dynamically, because even full page sixel images often print
in partial paint mode. You should enable the printer to direct the memory
allocation mechanism only in the following situations:
• If you are receiving error messages about page complexity, for example,
21 COMPLEX DATA.
• If pages are breaking incorrectly, for example, half the page prints on
one sheet and the second half on the next sheet.
See Table 4–12 for a complete description of the paint mode values.
4.5.5.4 Paper Size (paper)
The paper size feature determines the printable area on the page. It is
only used in manual feed mode when no other command has been received
to specify paper size. See Section 2.9 for additional information about
manually feeding media.
